Boomerang (Mad at the World album)

In 1991 the band released Boomerang which included what has been called "the most controversial MATW song of all time,"[2] "Isn't Sex a Wonderful Thing?"

The disc continued the trend of a heavier sound, with "If You Listen" rendering an atmosphere that can "make one envision a mysterious haunted mansion complete with a graveyard."

The CD sleeve contains the following text explaining the band's inspiration for the album title: "And remember, everything we do, right or wrong, kind or cruel, faithful or foolish, always comes back to you.

Each version was in keeping with their respective albums, the original featuring synthesizers and a techno sound, the reprise being more hard rock.

The band debuted the song at Cornerstone '89 and had planned to include the song on Seasons of Love but, said Roger Rose, "(t)he record company thought it was too controversial, they thought the only thing anyone would remember is the hook line which says 'isn't sex a wonderful thing?'
